M-technic II Cabrio with trunk spoiler - Aye or Nay?

[ZM Blue Devil]

I just asked my supplier to find an Italian. Let's see if that complicates your decision.

The benefit of the italian spoiler is that if you get hit, insurance won't screw you out of your claim based on removing the 3rd light.

It is a tough decision. I would score a couple of extra trunk lids and get them sprayed too. Then you can mix and match as your mood fits. You can swap out the trunk lid if you make some weatherpack connections for the light. You will need the little module from the light either way to stop the check panel light from staying on.

I have one with the spoiler and one without. I don't like the 3rd brake light on my black mt2, but I would get rear ended for sure without it. In the white car I am not as worried about such things.

My white car is pissing me off. Damn vacuum leak. I got the car back from the exhaust shop today. Stupid IE headers, they are crap. I am buying the RD e30 m20 headers from Carl on this site as soon as he gives me the final shipped total. I can't wait to have this thing running properly.

Thanks CorvallisBMW and robrez.

Not sure why you think the third brake light is so crucial. My third brake light has been out for at least a month, I've been fine. Unless your regular brake lights are super dim due to some ridiculous tint on your tails, I doubt you will have much of a problem.

Jordan asked after I spent 4k on a paint job why I didn't shave the side markers and front and rear markers like jonsku's perfect example. I chose not to as I wanted to retain visibility. My state has a large proportion of intoxicated idiots driving lifted trucks with less than optimal vision.

Most e30's I see here in the junk yard that aren't timing belt victims have had their back end crunched just above the rear bumper.

Mine is shaved, but I know that if i get rear fucked by somebody who actually has insurance, I will have to fight to win as I removed the brake light.

Spoiler NO

Headrest YES

3rd brake light NO

:D

[DRTSRFR]

MTech I shaved FTW!

[robrez]

I haven't checked this poll in a while, but it looks like spoiler-less stormed into the lead. With cars like this one, it's no surprise

Bottom half of MT2 spoiler only =P

I would get a 2nd decklid w/o brakelight...preferably already the same color and with an "S" spoiler already attached like Jack did. That way you can always go back to stock if you want to change the look.

I recently purchased an MT2 spoiler, going to se how it looks. I'm also on the lookout for a trunk lid w/o a brake light and a set of rear headrests.

Shaved and iS on Zinno, mt1 on delphin

[robrez]

Bumping this thread up. But now I'm trying to determine if I should install rear headrests or not. Does anybody have a link to more pics of this car below?

[Mr.Wiggles]

Thats a tough one but here is what i did in the past... headrest and shave the deck lid..

That's the e28 version (on steroids) of the E30 M tech 1 spoiler - notice how it falls over the trunk/fender seams.

I keep forgetting to do my lower mtech 2 section. Maybe I'll get around to it this spring and give it a shot, see how it looks.
